Re: Stop, rewind: the scientists slowing theageing process

There's definitely an impact if you look at it from the animals/environment

standpoint.

A human thinks nothing of cutting down a 90 yo magnolia tree to grow more

grass which requires water, fertilizer, mowing/gas, etc.

If you find your walden pond, fcs, don't tell anyone and don't fix the dirt

road.

Horrendous traffic, pollution, global warming, crime, just to name a few

impacts in western countries. I don't want to debate it either. Just know

that I strongly disagree that there is no impact.

Not to debate polemics, but I don't follow how population growth hurts our

population replacement. If want poor nations to have less babies, make them

wealthy like the west.

We have the capacity to grow far more food than we do today, and are not

running out of energy any time soon either.

We are already crushing our medical systems (in all countries) with longer

life spans, and more, very expensive medicines for mitigating the inevitable

cancers most of us will encounter if we live long enough.

There are no simple answers for this on the immediate horizon, and one could

argue that the primary drain on quality of life, is all the old people.
